The residents of East Palestine waited a year for this…
President Biden finally visited East Palestine, Ohio on Friday; the site of a disastrous toxic train derailment. The tardy POTUS spent just an hour and seventeen minutes with the community and was greeted with “f–k you” chants by residents.
It wasn’t quite the photo op the White House was hoping for. Check out some of the lowlights below including Joe digging through his pockets; Joe blowing his nose; Joe claiming his administration was on the ground “within hours;” and community members greeting Joe with “Let’s Go Brandon” chants.

Former President Donald Trump, who visited East Palestine to meet with the community and bring supplies just weeks after the disaster last year, called Biden a “fraud” on TRUTH Social earlier this week.
“It was such a great honor to be with the people of East Palestine immediately after the tragic event took place. I got to know so many of the people, in particular the wonderful Mayor, Trent Conaway,” Trump said on TRUTH.
“Biden should have gone there a long time ago—for him to go now is an insult to those who live and work in East Palestine, and the Great State of Ohio, itself. I can’t believe anyone wants him there? I know he doesn’t want to be there, and even he knows he is making a mistake, because he is pandering to people who are smart, politically savvy and, unfortunately, badly hurt by Biden’s in-actions and lack of caring. It will be so interesting to see how they meet and greet this FRAUD, and the THUGS that surround him!”
